The Cricut Explore Air 2 is a versatile cutting machine that allows users to create intricate designs with ease. One of its many features is the ability to turn on the mirror function, which is particularly useful when working with text or designs that need to be flipped horizontally or vertically. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to turn on the mirror function on your Cricut Explore Air 2.
First, ensure that your Cricut Explore Air 2 is powered on and connected to your computer or mobile device. You can connect it using a USB cable or via Wi-Fi, depending on your preference. Once your machine is ready, follow these steps to turn on the mirror function:
